Have house groups?

Killed the western Christian Churches!

Many believers have come to the conclusion that the onset of cell groups have ruined many congregations in the western Ekklesia, because they are an excuse for cliques’ and family related groups to control lost freedoms?

Many of these groups seem helpful in their outlook, but what they do is they kill the midweek prayer meeting and getting together for that oasis of fellowship.

In many other lands distances are an issue to travel and small groups probably work better, but we really should be able to combine the two and find that even the abandonment of the evening service is also something to be brought back to help the many who are struggling at work, home and other?

Matthew 25:1, Acts 1:14, 1 Corinthians 11:20, Ephesians 5:19.

The Ukraine?

No Peace!

As believers how do we deal with a world leader who refuses peace and is also provoking conflicts with other nation who are seeing through him and his mantra of lies to get a shopping list of weapons, that even his armed forces are failing to deploy in a proper manner, but rather waste on the battlefield?

Zelensky has rebuked many people who have suggested peace, this is nothing new David was rebuked by the peoples he lived with in hiding and it was a struggle for him!

Jesus tells us He did not come into our world to make peace, but with a Sword to cause division and to see who really loves Him more than our own loved ones?

Psalm 35:20, 120:7, Matthew 10:34-39.

Bear Fruit!

For God.

We all who believe have been set free and thus we are told in the book of the Romans, that our purpose is to bear fruit for our Father.

But in this context Paul is not writing in relation directly to winning souls, but to that of improving our character, that we are more Holy towards God and able to cope with the hostility that is around us.

We are precious to God and He wants the best for us, since we would be enabled to not get angry or slack in our service to Him, we would be stronger to counter the silly arguments at times the world try to throw at us?

Romans 7:11, (6:22), 2 Corinthians 10:5, Galatians 5:22, Ephesians 5:9.

Blessing God!

Many believers only see it the other way?

But in the New Testament we find two passages in the Gospels in relation to two men blessing God, one in relation to John the Baptizer and the other in the Temple at Jesus’ circumcision. Luke 1:64 and 2:28 respectively.

Zechariah could speak and Simeon had lived long enough to see this day of both the last and greatest prophet John and the Messiah.

Many people today are living a long time again and some believers will live long enough to see our Lord returning on the clouds of glory, but even more so since we live the this time of Spirit and truth John 4:23-24, we should bless the Lord everyday both in prayer and in worship!

The message we tend to Forget?

After the big rush of Easter.

These three verses are more associated with Christmas and the birth of the Jewish Messiah Jesus, they are hardly mentioned even in passing to the whole picture of the story, mostly because of the fulfilment of Jewish law of both prophetic revelation and Jesus circumcision on the eight day?

But this week we want to keep in focus the light to the Gentiles and the Light of Jesus that is constantly shining out into our dead world, that will bring hope to all in despair from conflicts, wars and social-economic woes, since God will meet with us where and what ever circumstances we may find ourselves in!

Luke 2:29-32, Psalm 98:2, John 8:12, Acts13:47,26:23.

Pro-Israel Christians pulling Back?

Israel’s right-wing anti-Christian Laws!

The problem with U.S. Ekklesia is that they do not know enough of their Bibles in relation to Eschatology and the end times, when Israel will not want, what it considers to be anti-Semitic to its culture?

Judaism is legalistic and it only sees Islam as being more close to what it believes in relation to a shared ancestor Abraham, while Jesus/Yeshua known to us is an imposter and they want nothing of Him!

The other reason is that Israel sees the Christian community as pro-Palestinian and hypocritical when it comes to the word of the Tanakh or our Old Testament that Elohim commands Israel to rid the land of these peoples?

In the book of Romans the Apostle Paul tells us that, ‘the Jews have been blinded, so that the gentiles can come into the commonwealth of Israel or that should rather be the Kingdom (Basilia).

Since they are blinded to the truth, they will want to restore the temple in the area of the Dome of the Rock or Mount Moriah and thus we learn from Daniel and from 2 Thessalonians this will be the place of the desolation and bring on the return of the real Messiah Yeshua/Jesus for us, but for them Ha ‘Moshia/Anti-Christ.

For many believers reading this world-wide, you encompass the Holy Bible and praise the Lord for that, but in the west to much doctrines and replacement theology has blinded many from the truth!

John 12:40, 2 Corinthians 4:4, 1 John 2:11.

Boldness without Fear?

To preach the Gospel, despite being Persecuted!

Most who are reading this blog will be from a persecuted background and one that is continuing by wicked people, who take pleasure in hurting others!

It is hard to bear the name of being a Christian in most of the world today, since many lands are closed due to religious idolatry or atheistic unbelief, but for us despite all these factors we have more of a desire to preach, to talk, to witness and teach about our Jesus, who has set us free from the coming destruction that humanity is bringing upon itself?

The Apostle Paul was one who was not afraid of telling others, even the Imperial Guard of the Roman empire knew about his and probably man were coming to faith!

Fear should not stop us, we must have a passion to reach the lost in this world, I speak from my depravity and the love that God showed me with mercy as he has also done for many of you!

Acts 4:31, 2 Corinthians 2:12, Philippians 1:13-14.

Intrigue & Lawlessness?

End Times!

Many Christians have abandoned the fulness of this revelation to pursue the doctrine of a all loving God that accepts all and tolerates sin, but the Bible does not support this limited understanding of the creator?

On the other hand legalism has entered as a key factor of Evangelicalism and it is misleading in several areas of denying the Jewish people their promises as now defunct and that Ekklesia has replaced the Kingdom of Israel by another! Much of this stems from the German Lutheran reformation and the false ideas of several misguided concepts, that where never questioned since they would have exposed anti-Semitism that remains rife to this day.

All of these factors are reflected on to local community and society, rather than the other way around and Satan once He has a foothold on us He will not let go! The Apostle Paul writing to the early Church warned of His ways, along with Matthew/Levi and the Prophet Daniel four hundred years earlier!

Daniel 8:26, 11:21, Matthew 7:23, 23:28, 2 Thessalonians 2:1-7 (3).

How God see’s Us!

Embracing and Kissing?

Luke 15 found in the Gospels of the New Testament is not a chapter to be overlooked, since it is the story of salvation and a revelation of how God see’s us!

Sometimes in the Ekklesia we forget some essentials mentioned by Jesus, such as the one s in Luke 15:20-21 and the ministry of washing each others feet as maybe not literal, when they are?

This young man has squandered his inheritance and sees sense to go home, he thinks through what he must say to his father!

But his father sees him coming and is ready with love for the one who was lost, this theme is not new, we see it with Esau and Jacob love in practice!

We also see it with Absalom even though much was given to him, he chose to fail and oppose his father for the throne, that was not his to have!

Genesis 33:4, 2 Samuel 14:33, Acts 14:33.
